Joyful Intentionality

Anaheim Conference

Reno, NV - May 8-12

The Prophetic Conference was held in a ballroom in one of the biggest casinos in Nevada, possibly in the U.S.A. The venue and the conference were diametrically opposed in culture and environment…so the battle was on from the beginning!

The main issue prophetically in this area is the predominance of Old Testament, visitational prophetic voices mostly speaking judgment, negative warnings and legalistic promises (if you do this and this, then God will do that). My subjects were: Renewing Your Spiritual Lens, Prophecy and the Gospel, The Law of Life in Christ and The Prophecy of Scriptures. It is vital in these short events to open up people’s eyes to the real gospel. To change the prescription of their current lens is vital. The lens we grew up with in the world will cause us to be myopic or blind in the Kingdom. America has a blame and shame culture and if we do not change that lens then the church will use it in the name of Jesus. Ministries that focus on sin and behaviors do not understand the true power of what Jesus accomplished for us on the Cross. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. It is crucial for people to see the place in Scripture where Old Testament prophecy dies and new covenant prophecy is brought to life in Jesus. The Mount of Transfiguration is the place where the law (Moses) and the prophets (Elijah) both give way to the glorified Jesus. Transaction complete. That part of the assignment of Jesus is accomplished in front of witnesses (the apostles). Continued…

We are now governed by the law of love and not by a love of the law. It is important for us to understand and develop experience in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This in itself is a major key in all prophetic expression…how does God see, think, speak and act towards us in the person of Jesus? If we are to ratify the freedoms that belong to the people of God then we must create in our churches an environment and an atmosphere that creates freedom and sustains it as a lifestyle experience. The culture we create on earth must be driven by the same culture in Heaven. I believe sincerely that apostles and prophets build that foundation into church life, and pastors and teachers help to establish it as a lifestyle in their communities. If we are to tackle legalism and religious fervor properly we must have something wonderful and powerful in Jesus developed first, so that we can make the exchange. Using scripture prophetically in the lives of people is how the Father develops promises and favor in our lives. It is the forerunner of prophetic utterance. Scripture and prophecy are not in competition but are partners in opening people up to the claims of Heaven in vision format.

This first class of teaching has to be a game-changing encounter for people to see things differently and open their hearts to the Way, the Truth and the Life.

I spoke at two evenings for a leadership class in the church. Located at the pastor’s home, they were informal gatherings for the purpose of dialogue and Q&A. These guys are a bright and lively bunch and the questions ranged from personal issues of spirituality to planting churches; requirements of a mentor, how to revitalize the church. Very cool dialogue. I also took an interview at a leadership lunch for the local/regional pastors and ministries. The questions were on the following subjects: Hyper grace issues The need to preach against sin How to turn the Church around The difference between pastoring and mentoring The key things to do in preparation for revival How can we develop a powerful inner life that becomes the norm for every believer? What are the key things to look for in a leader? As you can imagine, I know nothing about any of those so I quickly turned the conversation around to golf, football and the NBA finals. I’m pretty sure no one noticed. It was a lively discussion, which everyone seemed to value and appreciate. It was a significant deposit into a city that needs an upgrade in the Kingdom. I’m sure that I will return. Graham

Testimonies from

TWC’ers In Reno, NV

I don't even know where to begin! It was so amazing having Graham in

Reno! The prayer points were spot on and Reno Nevada and all the

surrounding regions received lens changes and huge upgrades!

1. Graham taught a lot on the MOAS series lens change. He brought this

amazing revelation and teaching home by blending into his teaching

specific truths relevant to the people and region he was in! It was amazing

to watch!

2. The response from people I have connected with has been amazing!

People I attend church with and have known for a long time became

children again before my eyes! Full of awe, wonder, excitement and

FREEDOM! They all experienced paradigm shifts that lightened their

hearts and brought joy they were not even aware was missing.

- Nette Yamada

The Reno Sessions were fantastic!

Graham talked about the prophetic from a New

Testament viewpoint. He said as we learn to see

people as God sees them, we carry a Spirit of

'breakthrough" for them. My favorite quote from this

session, "In the prophetic we are setting people free to

be amazing and astounding!" He also spoke about why

don't use an Old Testament prophetic style of shame

and condemnation by telling people how God is

disillusioned with them. Instead we use a New

Testament prophetic style of grace that encourages

and calls people up to who they really are in Christ.

I especially liked when Graham talked about living in

the Kingdom of Possibilities instead of problems. He

said a problem points to a promise that needs to come

down, and we step into this place of provision when we

are seeing how he sees. This conference was good

timing for me as I had just been laid off from my job of

thirteen years! So the last few weeks I've been asking

God for his perspective, his promises and trusting in

his goodness, provision and direction.

Graham also said "When we are in a difficult situation

we ask "What is Jesus praying for us? This is

because Jesus is in heaven praying over our

circumstances and the Holy Spirit is praying "in" our

circumstances with us." I'm experiencing an awesome

upgrade in my conversations with God about my

situation and we are connecting in an awesome way!

Graham spoke powerfully in Reno on Spiritual Lenses, the New

Testament Prophetic and Seeing in the Spirit. The people gathered

were from about 15 churches in the area, a diverse group hungry to

see reformation personally and regionally. The weightiness and

anointing Graham carried, partnering with Holy Spirit, shifted vision,

mindsets and language. I overheard a worship leader share with his

team, “We’re going to upgrade our worship to agree with the

revelation of God’s presence in us. We are no longer going to ask

Him to show up or invite Him, when He is already here. Our songs

are going to change!”

One of the most powerful questions Graham said was, “What are you

building your church on? The Epistles or the Gospels?” That was an

aha moment! I am now diving deep into the gospels, exploring what

Jesus believed, how He saw people and situations. I want to be a

victim of His perception.

Lead Coach in TWC

Grace Center Church – Franklin, TN

May 15-16, 2015

This is an enjoyable place for me. We have lots of friends in the area, mostly in itinerant ministry. As

expected, most were away from home but we did manage to have dinner with great friends, Larry and

Laura Randolph, and spend time in their lovely home.

This visit allowed me to renew our association with Jeff and Becky Dollar, senior leaders of Grace Center

Church, plus Alyn and AJ Jones leaders of Emanate at the church, a ministry to young adults.

It was also a wonderful opportunity to work with Jonathan and Melissa Helser, probably two of the most

gifted songwriters and worship leaders in the modern era. We have been friends for many years.

The event was simply titled “More!” My intention was to establish a deeper foundation that would

guarantee “more” on a regular, more consistent basis. To that end, I wanted to open people’s eyes to what

is happening currently in the realm of the Spirit. We are, I believe, heading towards a new reformation as

big, if not larger, than the one started by Martin Luther around 1521, and greater than the Charismatic

Renewal of the last century. A reformation is required before we can encounter a fresh revival for this

nation. We must be empowered to a higher level in Christ or we will never be able to keep the gains that

we make in the purposes of God. It is one battle to take ground and another fight to hold that territory.

There is no lasting breakthrough without appropriate follow through. Getting a breakthrough in an event is

not enough. It must be followed up in life so that churches and groups develop the lifestyle required to

occupy the territory that God has released.

We have a culture that has no appreciable history of following through and so we live from month to

month, event to event, meeting to meeting. There is an almost chronic short termism in the spiritual culture

of the church. If we are to become apostolic in nature then the work we represent must have long-term

goals that we are consistently and strongly working towards. A vision without a plan is just wishful

thinking. A prophecy that does not cultivate a strategy cannot be realized in full. Prophecy requires

cooperation with the One who is creating our identity and destiny.

A reformation requires a major lens change. It is essential that our view of the Kingdom is not

obscured by the demands of the organization or church. What we think about God and how we

see ourselves in relation to Him will always be two of the most important thoughts that require

regular upgrading. I spoke on Renewing Your Spiritual Lens, a message designed to provoke a

dialogue on major cultural upgrades.

Our hunger and thirst for more must be rooted in the delight that we are establishing in the Lord

Jesus, otherwise we are seeking an experience of God outside of a relationship with Him. When

we know who Jesus is for us, and what He has accomplished for us in salvation, then we must

pursue those revelations into an actual series of encounters that provide a foundation upon

which the Holy Spirit can build. To that end we simply must detach ourselves from an old

covenant visitational experience and embrace life in the Kingdom through the fullness of being

in Christ and Him being fully present within our hearts.

Ridding ourselves of a judgmental narrative in our preaching, prophesying and conversation is

vital if we are to follow the law of love as prescribed by Jesus. That same law is upheld by the

riches of His grace that the Father lavishes upon us because of what Jesus did for us on the

Cross. I am constantly astonished at the massive preoccupation that the church has with the old

man that Jesus has crucified in Himself. There is no consistent “more” without the upgrade into

the new man in Christ. We face a lifetime of earthbound, downgraded spirituality if we persist

in living in an identity that Jesus has already laid to rest in a grave.

For the remainder of the daytime sessions we looked at all the life changer issues of living in the

new man. How God sees us. How He connects us through the Cross with the real dynamic of

living in Christ. Empowering Presence and the ongoing war on all things negative. Laying aside

the old and putting on the new. Reframing our mindset and adapting to repentance New

Covenant style.

As ever, people were crying, laughing and cheering for Jesus all over the auditorium. Life in

freedom is sensational and the only way we can express it properly is through astonishment at

the grace and favor that He lavishes upon His people.

Page 1

In our final session, I wanted to show

people the true and amazing benefits of

living in the new man and the power of the

Kingdom unfolding to the Presence of Jesus

within. All of Heaven is attracted to Jesus in

us and we must cultivate the perception,

mindset and language that allow us to

interact with the Kingdom in a way that

changes the game and empowers us to

overcome. The Law of the Spirit of Life in

Christ Jesus compels us to walk with the

Father in the same direct, uncomplicated

manner that Jesus would in the same

circumstances.

A great event. Powerful. Envisioning.

Releasing. It will be intriguing to see who

takes it the furthest in experience and

lifestyle. I expect to see some warriors,

champions and game changers come to the

fore in this region.

As ever, thanks everyone for being in this

fight. The intercession is making a

difference and the battles we face make it

all worthwhile as we see people responding

to the freedom that is in Christ.

Teresa Morrison Director of New Members

Two months ago we sent out an email to 1,400 potential members, those who received an application. Many responded and questions are coming in from all over. Here is a note from Melissa Keys from Australia, I believe this will encourage everyone in TWC:

Warm greeting’s from North East Victoria, Australia. It is a child-free day and the sun is shining. My fireplace is burning and I have a coffee by my side. I feel a deep desire to share my journey - thus far - with this team of amazing people. My journey with Graham began about a year ago when my husband & I heard Kris Vallotton refer to him a few times. We were intrigued, so we downloaded a podcast and from there we fell in love with him and his profound teachings. Late last year, I felt a stirring in my heart to learn more about this amazing man of God. At first I thought bible college was my direction since we were attending a new house church. I let the thought sit with me over January and a few weeks later I saw an advertisement on my Facebook page for your Warrior Class. INSTANTLY I knew what He wanted! So I contacted your staff and checked to see if I could do it over here in Australia. An all clear came back so I ordered my books & CD’s that you suggested. Little did I know that what was contained in that material was about to TRANFORM the very foundation of my life, and specifically my marriage. I cannot write all of the wonderful events that have taken place! What I know is that when I took my eyes off the process of completing the application and allowed God to speak specifically to me about what he wanted to facilitate in this season, I saw heaven touch earth in my marriage & my children. Writing about it like this does not do justice to expressing the process of refining. What God did tell me specifically was “It won’t change you, it will transform you.” So the reason for my email is to say “Thanks!”, and give honor to an amazing group of people who are being led by one of God’s own “Mighty Men.” I recognize that in order for this opportunity to have been available for me there are many people that have pressed into their own personal battles. For that reason I thank you & honor you for making a way.= for others to travel. I am basking in goodness & abundance and am loving that no words can articulate my Heart. I have loved my new love of “crafted prayer" and am about to embark on the next series of books on Approaching the Heart of Prophecy. Well done, good & faithful servants, Much love, your sister in Christ - Melissa Keys

Why I wrote Joyful Intentionality

Most of us know a great deal about what we should do as a

Christian. Like many of you, I had heard all of the scriptures and

understood that I was supposed to be praying, studying and

becoming more like Jesus. But the early models and

experiences in my life left me working really, really hard to have a

good relationship with God - but rarely feeling that I actually did.

In a continuing life of trying-harder-to-do-better-for-God, I consumed a lot of teaching, read loads of books and listened

to CDs by the bucket load, yet always wondered at the slow pace of the transformation that was supposed to be

occurring.

In 2002, I heard Graham for the first time on a cassette tape that a friend gave me… and life was never quite the

same. There was something in this teaching about Who God was that captivated my heart - and still does. Graham’s

books had questions that made me think and little by little, life with God became about a relationship, not rules or a

study course to complete.

During the years where I didn’t know anyone else on this journey personally, I developed strategies to process my

discoveries that were actually fun; relational ways of being with God, not more things to do for Him. Development

became enjoyable because I discovered the delight of partnering with the Holy Spirit as my Friend, as well as my

Helper and Teacher. When I did begin to meet fellow sojourners at conferences and meetings, we kept in touch and

began to share our questions and ideas. Eventually, I brought these pieces into my early conversations with Graham

as we began to envision what The Warrior Class could be.

And all along the way, I kept notes of how life had transformed from discipline to delight; how the old mindsets of a

performance addict were displaced by a process that really did begin to make me rich in God’s love, kindness and joy.

Many of us have had the experience of hearing massive amounts of excellent teaching or looking at our Warrior Class

training and wondering, “How do I even begin to interact with this?”

Any revelation or truth can become transformational, but only if we know how to pursue the process of relationally

beholding it until it becomes our life with God.

Joyful Intentionality was written to not only give encouragement, instruction and inspiration in a “passion-filled life on

purpose” - but to provide practical questions and activations that you can customize to take any truth and make it a

lifestyle. So much of what is embedded in TWC is here: Evidences of Transformation, stories of how early members

were challenged by “powerful choices” and an elevated perspective on why and how our community lives in Kingdom.

I believe that Joyful Intentionality gives us a powerful new tool in TWC that will accelerate taking our internal territory in

the areas that we are often challenged by… so we’ll be asking that all Warrior Class members enjoy reading it, new

and veterans. There’s a great deal that is the story of “us” - and it’s a GOOD story.

With Joy,

Allison

New Release!

When “joyful” is separated from “intentionality”; when “purpose” precedes “passion”, spirituality quickly turns into a discipline to be done instead of what it was meant to be: a relationship to be savored with a Friend. Joyful Intentionality will help you overturn mindsets that keep you duty-bound, displacing them with: - The joy of the journey - The treasures of the unexpected - Exchanging comfort zones for the Comforter - Fine tuning your receiver - Making powerful choices …. and more. Allison Bown artfully weaves Scriptural teaching with encouraging stories and creative tools that will practically equip and empower you on your own joy-fueled adventure with God.

I have been reading "Joyful Intentionality" by Allison. For Mindset #3, THE

UNEXPECTED IS TO BE EXPECTED. I had been listening and reading about

God’s abundant grace, and a situation occurred. I was angry, disappointed,

and hurt with a person from an action. I was having difficulty finding joy and

peace in the situation. There was time before I would see the person, allowing

for reflection and asking the Holy Spirit for a new approach based on grace. He

assisted me in getting to a place of peace. The discussion with the person was

a different encounter than either one of us could have had if the starting point

had been anger, or shame-based. The tone of the conversation kept things

more even-keel, and allowed for a deeper, heart-felt conversation. The

outcome was warmth, and love - not what I expected based on my initial

reaction! ~ Michelle Bell

October 15-17, 2015

I first heard Graham in 2011 during one of the darkest seasons of my life. A friend (now fellow TWC'er Sylvie Wirkkala) gave me “Becoming The Beloved” after a SOZO session. It literally changed my life. I couldn't get enough of Graham's materials. I attended my first Graham event at "Growing Up In God" in Portland and thought my head would implode. I also had an encounter with Jesus while I was sitting in one of the front rows, trying to absorb it all. I am a mother of two sons: Alex and James. I am soon to be a new grandmother (due any day now) and am really, really excited about that. In fact I will have two grandchildren who will be joining our family this year! God is SO good! I live in Vancouver, WA and work in Urgent care as a PA (physician assistant). I love my job. Every day is an opportunity to be His hands, in every encounter I have, be it with a patient or a coworker. I have been in TWC since June of 2013. Best decision ever, bar none! What TWC has done for my relationship with God is beyond my ability to articulate. I am a prayer partner with Tony Hughes in the Treasure Hunters. It is a perfect fit for me, because treasure seeking is key to my identity! I have lots of hobbies (cooking, reading, singing, worship dance, quilting, and my family) and just picked up a new one: running; although if the truth be told it is a very slow run! I have a huge heart for my community as well as the lost, the prodigals and the homeless. I truly believe that the Lord has awesome plans for this community and I get to partner with Him in that.

Reframing risk: When I think about risk I think about a question that Allison asked in one of our training days: "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" coupled with a statement from one of the training journals: "It is all training ground." Those words have really shifted how I see risk. If I am the beloved daughter of the King and I carry His presence in me, and if I bring heaven to earth - what risks am I willing to take in order to follow the desires of my heart (which are also the desires of His heart)? If I truly believe that He will move heaven and earth to see His purposes fulfilled in me - then where is the risk? Interestingly enough, at the start of every New Year the Holy Spirit will have me sit down and make a list of all the things I did the year before that were “firsts” for me. When I am done, I am always blown away by how many "firsts" are on my list, each and every year. Becoming the Beloved: Now this is the most fabulous journey ever! It never stops, there is always a new facet or new layer just waiting to be discovered. Recently I had an opportunity to attend a conference and have several prophetic words spoken over me. What was really wonderful was the picture that all of those combined words painted. The majority of the words had to do with actively operating in my identity and of an ease and effortlessness as I bring purity, goodness, kindness, peace and love to the lives of others. What was interesting to me was that I had been in a time of feeling disconnected. I felt that I had stepped back and was not spending enough time in worship, declaring, or reading my crafted prayers. As I thought about this, I realized that what I "should" be doing is just another layer of performance (again). Today I know that what I bring to the party is actually His good gift to me, it is my spiritual DNA, and it is my Lord shining through me. That is what others see. I don't earn my way into it, I don't have to sustain it. It is who He is in me. Wow! I will be processing this one for a while. How have my thoughts and language been upgraded since coming in TWC? I just returned from a marvelous weekend conference sponsored by a prophetic church that also runs a prophetic school. I had the opportunity to mingle with many of the students, listening to them, sharing with them and observing. One thing has become very clear to me: no matter the gifting, crazy anointing, or length of time walking with our Lord, we all have the same basic questions: Who am I? How does the Lord see me? My take away from this was a profound gratitude for all that I am learning in TWC. My identity is the basis and core of my life. As I become more convinced that I am who my Father says I am - His beloved daughter - then my tainted view of myself disappears. I have new, clean lenses to view both myself and those around me. I am a woman who has been loved into wholeness. This is who I am, and from this place everything else in my life flows.
